Using a special code, a Canadian company has created what it is billing as a way to keep trading coyprighted music via the Napster file sharing service.

No, the company isn't using the Navajo Code Talkers Code but Pig Latin. Available at NapCameBack.com, the company's software modifies the names of MP3 files in order to diguise them.

Napster has been ordered to block some 135,000 songs from its service. Barring listening to every single file, the only way it can ensure copyrighted songs aren't traded is by inspecting filenames.
